    I think i'm missing the point...White moved the bishop to b3 (next to the king) taking the bishop seems logical to me. Instead of that black moved a pawn (e4).......I know it's almost x-mas but...I don't get this 'present

    @ wossaaat        -- Ah!  Thank you.  Okay, now why 6 ...Kc4 instead of 6 ...c3?  Wouldn’t it be better for that black pawn to get closer to a promotion?

    ZZ and the eventual taking of all of blacks pawn. Either way it leads to a draw which is what white wants.
